Last Day Of School

Alexa's last day of school was a few weeks back. Again, like last year, I was more sad than she was. She is just too excited to be a big kindergartner now.

I can not say enough great things about Mrs. Hawes, Alexa's teacher. She is AMAZING. We lucked out getting her. She is the lead 4 year old teacher and has great success with her kids reading.

Alexa has always loved learning. She loves school and wants to know how to do everything. She picked up reading so easily, I was amazed. They had reading day one-on-one, once a week. If they passed off the previous book, they got a new book. Alexa's reading day was Friday and she always got a new book each week. If another reader was absent on their reading day she would beg to take their reading time. Because of this she often passed off two books in one week. She loves to read and is very good at writing. It makes her crazy to not know how to spell. She tries to write a word, asks me how she did, I correct her and she rarely gets it wrong again. She is awesome. I'm so very proud of her!

At her January assessment Mrs Hawes wrote about Alexa: "Alexa is an exceptional child; she is well-mannered and learns new things easily. She is self motivated and is a careful worker."

In May she wrote: "Reading through 30 books is quite an accomplishment for a little girl who just turned 5! Alexa is a dream student-smart, focused and obedient! I miss her already!"

I could not be more proud of her! Great Job Alexa!
